The mRNA expression patterns for each were obtained from published studies (PubMed ID provided) or Zebrafish Information Network, ZFIN (https://zfin.org/). Phenotypes from either morpholino knockdown or ENU (N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea) or CRISPR/Cas9-induced mutagenesis in zebrafish model from previous studies were summarized in the result column. The detailed descriptions of clinical features in humans and phenotypes in mouse knockouts for each gene were included in Supplementary Table S3.
